Dragon #323 came in today.

[Cold0]

Samurai vs Knight by John Clements. One fought for honor, wore cool armor, wielded finely wrought weapons, and struck fear into the hearts of those who opposed him. Oh wait, so did the other one. Find out who would win in this historical deathmatch! John looks at the scenario, the armor, the shield, the weapons, and the swordsmanship. Then he makes some educated guesses.

Can you give some more infos, thalmin?

As you can see from my Avatar, I'm cleary interested in the performances of my brother knights!

3 column text

What is it with you Americans and three column text?

It just makes everything harder to read. It looks awful, it scans badly, and it over-hythenates.

I was happy when it disappeared from the D&D books, so why on earth bring it back?

What is it with you Americans and three column text?

Uh-Oh, you caught us...Yes, we all got together and voted to go to the three column text format just to upset the mother country.

Is Skip Williams no longer the Sage????? I think I saw that on his bio for the new Web supplement?

So Issue 324 has Lovecraftian monsters and more quori? Sold.

Yeah, I'll be snagging this one myself.

Ecology The Ecology of Chokers Learn the secrets of the choker.

Is there any mention of Eberron in this article? According to Hellcow, the chokers were forged from halflings by the daelkyr.

(Also, mindflayers are rumored to be gith aberrations when the daelkyr destroyed their homeworld. Apparently there are other worlds on the prime beyond Eberron...)

Just a quick skim of the article, seems like no Eberron, only Underdark. By the wayan inset for the article announces the choker as one of the figs in the upcoming Aberrations D&D Miniatures set, with a picture. It will be a common fig.

Could some post the pic of the choker mini? Thanks!
